Sharknado (spoilers)

My fav glitch in Sharknado is that half the scenes it was pouring rain, the other half showed the action on sunny days and dry streets.

The bus rescue was pretty funny, pulling everyone up to the bridge, with water less than 1 foot deep in one scene andno water around the bus in another. Oh, and in the background on the bridge, regular LA traffic going down the streets

They also preempted all of last Saturdays day movies (runs of old night cheap movies made for SyFy). The theme was supposed to be their Earth collision movies. I recorded all of them Saturday because they are great to watch when plastered.

Well, I turned one on, and they put on all the Shark movies instead, not even updating the listings! Sharktopus was on! WOW! Another movie just as good as Sharknado

I just read where the third airing of Sharknado increased to 2.1 million viewers. Each showing has had more and more viewers.
First 1.4 million, then 1.9 million, and finallly 2.1 million. I wonder what the fourth airing later this month will do.

There are many other options for watching this off the Internet for free if you're so inclined...

Yeah, I'm still contemplating that. I will routinely download OTA network shows when the TiVo fails to record, etc., but have until now drawn the line on "paid" content (yes, I realize as a copyright violation there is not a huge difference). Still trying to decide whether I make an exception for this classic. I've already looked for the legit ways (Amazon, Netflix, SyFy website), but no go (at least not yet -- I'm sure when the DVD comes out next month there will be options, but don't know if I want to wait that long).

I may just watch Piranha (1978), which was just added on Netflix, instead. Who am I kidding? That's just what I'm going to watch while I'm waiting for the torrent to load

A one-time showing of the campy shark flick sold out at a Union Square movie theater 24-hours in advance, prompting movie executives to add another screening &#8212; which sold out even faster.

"This is unheard of for a made for TV movie &#8212; no one thought this movie would do so well," said Harry Medved, a spokesperson for movie ticket seller Fandango. "It has the trappings for Rocky Horror -type cult movie following," he said

He added film honchos are now considering adding a third screening in New York City tonight.

Fans have so far bought more than 600 tickets in for two 12:05 am showings at the Regal Cinemas in Union Square &#8212; the only New York City location showing the film.

A late-night screening of the so-bad-it's-good movie &#8212; which centers on a tornado of sharks that strikes L.A. &#8212; will also show in Edgewater, N.J.
